We were approached a few
a .
a scheme winch was explained to
"We (the schemers) will place a half dozen men in your city and will
visit every house, offering for sale a ticket costing the purchaser 25 cents.
This will entitle the holder any time within six months to demand of you
upon an additional payment of $2.75 making a total of $3 00 a dozen
CHhinets and an extra picture in a gilt frame. This outfit of frame and
pictures you can represent as worth $4, $5 or 6; we will swear it's worth
whatever you say. We place these tickets in the community to keep the
25 cents that we collect. Oh. yes, the public will bite at worse than this.
But its a great scheme as the frame you give away costs $12.00 per hun
dred, 12cts with every order. Suppose one of your neighbors were to go
into it. they now advertise their cabinets at $2.00 per dozen, say the extra
picture and frame would cost an additional 25cts, through our scheme be
would get 2.75, a handsome profit on this extra picture and frame. Eh?
Of course we prefer to work this scheme through the leading photo
grapher but we are bound to work it through some one. Yes, we may
strike an irresponsible party or he may get closed up. We give no bond
that he will continue in business, but he will if he can, because you see
this scheme gives him better prices than he now obtains."
It is oeedioM to mmy that RASMUSSEN declined to employ peddlers and
tram i-8 to work such questionable tactics, The only means we nse to
create business are:
1st. We make only the finest quality of work and that at popular prices.
2i. We guarantee satisfaction.
3d. Our Gallery contains more and better instruments, back-grounds
and all appliances for making Photos, twice over, than all the other Gal
leries in the city combined.
Whenever such inducements can be offered it is unnecessary to employ
"Tramp Ticket Fakirs," but that they are now being employed here in
Rock Island is our excuse for exposing the true inwardness of the scheme.

A DRENCHING DOWN POUR.
Saturdiy
Night's Heavy
Storm.
Rain
The M at Severe mad Deatraetlve ef
the Hrason Wast It Old In the City
This section was visited by a storm
very similar to a cloud burst Saturday
night. The first down pour occurred at
9:30 p. m., and from that time until
4 a. in. heavy rainfalls succeeded
each other at short intervals. It
is probable that no such heavy
rain taa visited Rock Island in
years before. Certainly more water fell
than has been released from the clouds in
the sama period of time before . Accord
iag to eovernm ent weather service obser
vations, five and one-sixth inches of
water fell, while the Mississippi rose
seventeen inches, but since has receded
rapidly again.
The storm came up rather suddenly
and the water fell like a great solid sheet
In a short time putters and sewers were
overflowed and streets were flooded.
Union square was a pond two feet deep,
while at. many places in the slough it ap
peared for a time that people would be
obliged to move from their houses. Mo
line avenue from Twenty-third street east
was in a bad condition. The water rushed
along tlie streets like a mad sea, flooding
the sidewalks and making tnem in some
places impassable. People returning
from the show found great difficulty in
eettinK alone, while men carried their
wives sad children through the water, in
some places which was knee deep.
Crossings and pieces of sidewalk were
washed away and cellars generally flood
ed
The rain was accompanied by a furi
ous wind, which broke limbs of trees and
for a time caused much alarm among
nervouH people, who thought Rock Island
was to be visited by a storm similar to
the Johnstown disaster.
The city administration was severely
censured yesterday for its neglect
in not putting washedout sidewalks
back into place, especially on Moline
avenue, where much difficulty, if not
danger, was experienced in getting along
At Fifth avenue and Seventeenth street
the walk was washed out, and left last
night in an absolutely serious condition
At Twelfth street and Seventh avenue
there 'was a bad washout that should
have received attention yesterday by the
proper authorities. It is one of the du
ties of the street commissioner to look
after ei cb. things, and he is freely con
demned for not doing it.
In the country, small streams which
had been dry for a month, overflowed
their banks, and several small bridges
were wished out. Crops suffered greatly
A drive into the country yesterday found
i coin and oats cenerallv levelled, and
whie f irmerg anticipate no trouble with
regard to corn, feeling satisfied that
couple of days will find it raised again
all right, they are as a rule anxious about
the oat crop, fearing that it is mostly
beaten down and badly damaged.
The rain scooped out a portion of the
filling of the C , M. & St. P. track at
Port Byron and left the track suspended
in the air, but the washed out ground
work vas put in again yesterday. About
ten miles this side of Muscatine a piece
of theC. R. I & P. track was washed
out an! an engine and mail car derailed
and the train had to back down to Muss
catine and come around by Wilton. All
trains came that way yesterday, and this
morning the first train came through by
Muscatine again.
There was also considerable of a wash
out near Denrock on the C. 8. fe Q.
which delayed all incoming morning
trains until afternoon, but everything is
all rigl.t today.
Dunne the earl v morning storm Sun
dky 11 'tuning struck the residence of J.
G. Gaisert, on Fifth avenue, between
Twentieth and Twenty-first, and tore off
considerable of roofing and siding, but
caused no seriouB damage.
Harts & Bahnsen. wholesale drug
gists, st the corner of Third avenue and
Twentieth, are probably the heaviest
losers, the water entering the cellar
throug l the east wall, and destroying
chemicals, paints and oils to the extent
of $30(.
Lightning struck the barn of H.
Lange at Davenport, and killed a horse
and d stroyed several tons of hay.
Tow.irds evening yesterday the tem
perature fell fourteen degrees, and at 6
o'clock last evening was thirty degrees
lower than it was at the corresponding
time tie previous evening. Today the
weather is pleasant as could be wished
for.
.V arrow Escape.
Mr. John Babcock, of Watertown, who
was in the city today, says twenty of his
best sheep had a close call from being
killed by lightning during Saturday
night's storm. They were quartered in
one en J of a 60-foot barn, the other por
tion tx ing filled with hay. The lightning
played a curious freak. The bolt struck
the end occupied by the sheep and took
a zig:ag course until it reached the
ground , going out of the building and in
again every few feet. Luckily not a
sheep 'as hurt.
A Vicious Brute.
Johr. Barth, a teamster in the employ
of the city, living on Fourth avenue be
tween Eighth and Ninth street, was se
verely kicked by one of his horses on
Saturday morning. He was driving his
team across the slough when one of the
animals kicked viciously with both feet,
striking Barth on each leg and leaving
deep g ishes . He was taken home, where
Dr. C. C. Plummer dressed his wounds.

UNITING THE CITIES.
The Idrh f Consolidation of Rock Is.
land and Mtliic Being Freely and
Favorably Discussed.
A number of the Rock Island county
papers nave taaen up tne iaea so
frequently agitated of late concerning the
consolidation of the cities of Rock Island
and Moline, and the project is now more
than likely to receive attention in the
way that means something. The recent
consolidation of the cities of Chicago
and Hyde Park and the advantages both
gained thereby has had a great tendency
to revive the subject, and the Improve
ment association of Rock Island and the
Business Men's association of Moline
should, and doubless will, take steps to
bring the matter properly before the two
cities .
The consolidation would not only give
us a population of 35.000 to 40,000 peo
ple, but would give us aa area in terri
tory that few cities surpass. It would
give us a position mutually advantageous
and make a city that would not only be
the second largest in the state, but one
that would rapidly increase. The fact of
the uniting of two such well known cities
would attract increase in population, ad
vertise the new city, and it is a safe as
sertion that the number of inhabitants
would double in five years .
The Moline Dispatch thus comments
npon the subject:
Whatever the name adopted for the
new city. "KocK Island and "Moline
would stick to the localities now em
braced under these names, respectively,
for all time. The Moline manufacturers
could retain their trademarks including
the word "Moline." The Rock Island
plow works and other institutions
of that city could do likewise. In
deed we could contine to have the
Rock Island and the Moline Nation
al banks, the Rock Island Argus and
the Moline Dispatch, and so ad in
finitum, even if the united city were called
Watertown or Stewartville, in order to
take in one of those suburbs. In short-
no disadvantages appear to overcome the
advantages. Rock Island has a larger
debt than Moline, and the new law re
quires the assumption of the combined
debt by the consolidated city. But Rock
Island is getting her debt well in hand of
late, and she has considerable public
property to show for what she owes.
Let us all think about the scheme, and
make up our minds what we want to do
and be ready to act in time to settle the
matter before taking the census of 1890
Bit by a Mad Man.
A freight train aonductor on the Illi
nois division of the C, R. I. & P., had
a peculiar and not altogether pleasant
experience coming west near Geneseo
Saturday night. The other side of Gen
eseo a young lady passenger on the train
which was an accommodation, discovered
that she had lost her ticket and the con
ductor explained that she could get an
other at Geneseo, passing her on to that
station; but a stranger on the train began
to speak in behalf of the lady's posi
tion that was no more agreeable to her
than to the conductor, insisting that
was unnecessary that the young lady pay
at all. The latter became frightened
and begin to cry at the stranger'
queer actions, and tbe conductor re
monstrated with tbe male passenger, who
at once showed unmistakable symptoms
of being a crank, and without warn
ing he seized the lady's satchel and
and started for the platform. The con
ductor followed, and in attempting to
recover the satchel a struggle ensued,
during which the crank seized the con'
ductor and bit him on the neck
When Geneseo was reached the mad
man was taken in charge by tbe police,
and finally locked up. His name is Da
vis. He formerly lived in Chicago, but
his present home is in St. Louis. About
a year ago he married a Geneseo lady, and
she has recently died. The bereavement
is thought to haye robbed him of his
reason. He came up from St. Louis
with Conductor Terry, of the Q, during
the middle of the week, and then, too. he
acted in s manner that attracted con
siderable attention.
The ravins Brick Inspection.
Mayor McConochie, Aid. Schroeder,
Contractor Atkinson and Superintendent
Schnitger returned from Galesburg Sat
urdsy evening, where they made a thor
ough investigation of paving brick. The
committee learned that onegf the Gales
burg company's had a capacity for turn
ing out 43,000 paving brick a day, and
was selling them as fast as they could be
made. Tbe other company had a con
tract for putting in a good many brick
and had 1,000.000 on hand, but the
gentlemen learned the contractors using
this brick bad been stopped in their
work.
The Rock Island representatives also
went down to Bushnell and in
spected the Bardolph brick, which
they were much pleased with and
which the company offered to make
a written guarantee for, but were
unable to see a practical test of it except
where it had been used for street car
Hacks and crossings. The gentlemen
seem on the whole more favorably im
pressed with the brick of the Galesburg
Pressed Brick and Tile company which
will cost f 11.40 per thousand delivered
in Rock Island.
Supt. Schnitger says the Bardolph
brick, while being the cheapest, is the
most new, best size and apparently the
hardest and best, and if a satisfactory
guarantee could be secured from the com
pany, would favor using it.
Pal tee Points.
John Collins was before Justice
Hawea today charged with abusing his
wife. He took a change of venue to
Justice Cooke, who held him in bonds

Mrs. Senn, of South Rock Island, was
before Magistrate Wivill Saturday,

abusive language. A fine of $3 and costs
was imposed, which was suspended and
costs paid.

afternoon he might be obliged to revise his
plans for tbe summer and spend more tune
here than ha had originally intended. He
does not look forward with pleasure to a
